A GREAT sTATIsTICIAN's CONCLU-
SIONS.

The conclusions of EDWARD ATKIN-
SON, the great statistician, in a lecture be-
fore the Nineteenth Century Club, are
widely different from those arrived at by
HENRY GEORGE. He says, among other
things: Experience shows that the great
remedy for socialism is the development OF
the individual and the education OF the
Young. Labor is fast learning that dimin-
ished profits and prices 90 hand in hand
with higher wages and lower cost. The
earning power of capital has decreased
since 1860 from 8 to 4 per cent, while la
boris condition has improved. The very
poor are not more numerous than former
". In the organization of labor is found
au attempt to equalize the disparities OF
modern conditions. High wages are the
correlative Of low cost. Pauper labor is to
be feared only by those of pauper intelli-
gence. / have Investigated fifty arts.
They all show progress developing from pow
erty; high wages with diminished profits,
aud on all sides an approach to more equal
conditions of the employer and laborer.'
The capitalist is not regarded as the
common enemy OF all mankind. MIR. At
EINSON says: IF a capitalist saves what
would otherwise be wasted, OF what harm
is lie? OF old he kept everything to HIM
self; now he has TO allow Others to share
the benefits of his work. More thar 80
per cent. o fthe people enjoy substantial
equality now. The rich have more cloth
ing, but the poor wear out more. In fuel
they are equal consumers. The greatest
disparity between the two is in shelter and
in the control of their time. Subsistence
Is now so abundant that there is complaint
Of overprOduction. There is more capital
than could be used"
About railroads he expresses a belief
quite different from what very many hold.
lie says: "A great cry goes up eternally
about the railroads. For my part | would
rather nave the V~ANDERBILTs carry my
trunk than to carry it myself. They can
do it cheaper. All modern agitation leads
me to conclude that social and political
conditions are to be improved by evolution,
not by revolution. There is not an art in
which the profit is not less than the waste
of twenty-five years ago. The margin of
the profit has become very small. 1t mel
become rich by saving the vast and apply
ing it to the benefit of labor, who suffers
Mr.. ATKINSON is authority on all these
questions, aud the thoughts he expresses
above are worth bordering over.

BASE BALL.
A FRUITFUL WINTER FOR BASE BALL
SENSATIONS.
The Case of the Mau0ns-Ths Contest For the
Prize Between indianapolis and Kansas
Cty-GlaSSoOek, Denny and Kelly.

The present winter has Deen an unusually
fruitful one with base ball sensations. First
came the jump of the Pittsburgs to the
League, and falling in quick order have
ensued events of startling Importance TO the
national pastime. One of the subjects fur
nishing the greatest amount of conjecture
and comment has been the case Of the st.
Louis MarOons. Last summer demonstra-
ted the fact conclusively that Missouri's
capital could not support two teams, and
as the American club was winning the
most games, it was certain that they were
not the weak sister. Since the end of the
season the tottering condition of the Ma
rooms, as the League team is Familiarity
known, became more evident. The sale
of McKinnon, one of their strongest men
to Pittsburg, displayed the true state OF
affairs, namely, that the transfer OF the
club to q new management was but a
scheme to dispose of the players and fran
chise to the best possible advantage. Soall
winter long it has been known that both
were in the market, but that the figures
were entirely too high. The fact that there
were niue clubs in the League, that Kansas
CITY had made a desperate effort to break
into the American Association, and that
St. Louis was for sale showed that the lat
ter two cities knew that their death-knell
had been sounded, and that they were to
be dropped by the League. So the race
has been to capture the st. Louis franchise.
indianapolis hankered after it and Kansas
City was Just as eager to purchase INT save
herself. After weeks of suspense it has
finally been disposed OF. but As to who the
purchasers are Is a matter OF doubt. Kan
sas City claims to have secured both the
franchise and players, while it is just rs
strongly asserted that the League directors
have bought it up and will transfer. it to
indianapolis. But the franchise is not so
much a bOneOf contention as the players,
especially GlaSscOck and Denny, who have
not their equals in their respective posi-
tions-short and third. Every club in the
League has made magnificent Offers for
their release but to no avail, as st. Louis
| placed even a higher estimate on them than
any club felt cabable of paying. Glass
cock wa especially the object OF great So
licitude. Fabulous sums were offered for
the famous shOrt-stOp, and it is said that
Boston expressed a willingness to give
81 600 for him. In the deal that has been
made he is put down to chicago and Denny
to New York. 1t il supposed that by some
hocuSpOcuS, SpauIding of Chicago, has got
his clutches on GlasScOck, and will hold
him, all other clubs TO the contrary. The

EVOLUTION OF THE BASEBALL
GAME.

The evolution of the baseball game
might make an interesting study for the
curious. Several years ago, when the
game was in its embryonic state, no one
dreamed of the wondrous possibilities that
were locked up in it. When college mines and
village clubs first began to be formed, none
ever dreamed that in a few years baseball
would he a lucrative profession.
But a short time ago, one club paid
S1O,O 600 for the release of a player and
then hired him on a salary of s 5000 a
year. Occasionally a player finds it neces-
sary to take 4 trip to Europe to rest from
the severe mental strain his labOrs impose
upon him. The game is not dying out as
"A craze, but is gathering momentum rs 1t
moves ON. The fascination for both player
and lOOker-On seems 10 be on the increase,
and tbs amount expended in the sport
keeps equal pace.
1t is pretty certain that a game that can
50 long hold the favor of the public has
substantial merit. Had it not, il would
have gone the way of the roller skating
craze.
